Chapter 800: Wait for him to come begging to us!
"Your Highness, Consort Duan's health has been gradually weakening since her disfigurement last time."
Not only that, but recently Consort Duan has been very depressed and looking gloomy. I have tried to persuade her many times to think more positively, but she is preoccupied with her worries and her liver qi is stagnant, so her health has been deteriorating lately.
The imperial physician sighed. Everyone knew about Consort Duan's current predicament in the harem.
The emperor disliked her, and the other concubines also knew that she had no future, so they naturally stopped interacting with her.
Staying in this room all day and unwilling to go out will naturally make things worse. Even healthy people will get sick, let alone someone whose health was already poor.
"My mother is indeed in poor health, but it's impossible for her to be so ill as to be unable to recover. This is definitely poisoning!"
King Liang's eyes were cold and sinister. He knew very well that many poisons could be detected without leaving any trace, making people think that the person was naturally weak.
"Poisoning again?"
When Physician Xu realized that Prince Liang had definitely been poisoned, his heart skipped a beat.
Having made a mistake at General Bai's residence just a few days ago, he dares not speak rashly again. If he makes a wrong diagnosis, how can he maintain his position in the Imperial Hospital in the future?
The other imperial physicians exchanged glances. They all felt that their judgment was correct, but seeing that the Prince of Liang was so determined and clearly wouldn't listen to their advice, they felt helpless.
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort of Chu is a highly skilled physician. A few days ago, General Bai was poisoned and nearly died, but thanks to the Princess Consort of Chu, he was saved."
"How about... you send someone to invite Princess Chu to take a look?" Physician Xu suggested.
Upon hearing the words "Princess Consort of Chu," King Liang's expression darkened further. The last incident should have been foolproof, but instead, not only was General Bai rescued, but he also suffered considerable losses.
The kid I sent had clearly been silenced and dealt with cleanly, but his men still lost a team.
Yesterday's surprise attack left us no time to react, and the attackers left without leaving a trace after killing us.
However, he knew in his heart that this was probably Chu Junting's doing.
There are few people in the capital with such abilities, let alone the fact that it all happened so coincidentally right after General Bai's accident.
My mother was poisoned again today. It seems the other party is determined to use their own methods against me.
"Chu Junting, very good!"
King Liang clenched his fists, his eyes filled with murderous intent. It seemed that this guy was smarter than he had thought!
"No need. I know a divine physician. As long as I invite him here, my mother's illness will be cured!"
Upon hearing this, the members of the Imperial Medical Academy fell silent. Based on their years of experience, this was simply a case of a person being depressed, lacking energy and spirit, and becoming increasingly weak due to physical depletion. It had absolutely nothing to do with poisoning.
As an old woman appeared beside the King of Liang, he said in a deep voice, "Take a look, what kind of poison has been afflicted on my mother!"
However, after taking her pulse, Granny Hua frowned.
"Your Highness, Consort Duan's pulse indicates weakness, but there are no signs of poisoning."
"What?" King Liang's expression changed slightly. "Impossible, it must be poisoning. Take a closer look!"
Granny Hua took the pulse again, observed carefully, and then shook her head once more.
"Your Highness, I have examined it carefully. It is indeed weakness caused by emotional distress. Mental illness requires mental medicine."
If Consort Duan can take things easier, her health will naturally improve gradually. But if she remains depressed, then truly… even a miracle won't save her.”
Mental illness is more difficult to treat than other illnesses.
King Liang frowned, instinctively convinced that all of this was impossible and must be a trick played by Song Ruozhen. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?
"Are you really sure?"
“I’m sure,” Granny Hua said.
King Liang's face was gloomy. "You'd better see this clearly. Last time you said that the Seven-Star Heartbreak Grass was extremely rare, and that even the imperial physicians wouldn't be able to find any clues and no one could cure it. What happened?"
Song Ruozhen cured the poison in a short time, which shows that her medical skills are extraordinary!
"If she poisoned my mother, are you confident you could tell?"
Granny Hua's face was also pale. The Seven Star Heartbreak Herb was a rare poison, and she never expected that someone in the capital city could recognize it.
She had hoped to make a contribution, but with such a huge blunder, she was now truly uncertain...
……
When Song Ruozhen returned to the Chu Prince's Mansion, she found that Chu Junting was waiting for her in the room.
"Your Highness, the Prince has been waiting for you in the room ever since he returned from court."
Chenxiang couldn't help but wonder, did the prince have something important to discuss with the princess?
Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. The moment she saw Chu Junting, she knew that this man was so smart that he couldn't hide it from her. He must have already guessed that the matter of Consort Duan was caused by her.
"Chenxiang, close the door and don't let anyone near," Song Ruozhen instructed.
"Yes, this servant will stay in the courtyard."
Chenxiang realized that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to say anything more and quickly retreated.
Song Ruozhen walked up to Chu Junting and admitted, "That's right, I was the one who poisoned him."
Chu Junting saw that she was looking at him with a self-righteous expression, as if she had made up her mind that even if he blamed her, she would never repent.
He suddenly chuckled softly, "Well done."
Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback, looking at the smiling man in front of her in surprise, "Did I hear that right? You praised me for doing a good job?"
"It is impolite not to retaliate. He has attacked us time and time again, and we can't keep tolerating it."
"I recently discovered a hideout where his men were gathered, and I sent men to wipe it out yesterday," Chu Junting admitted.
Song Ruozhen blinked, only then realizing that it wasn't just her who was angry; Jun Ting had also secretly made a move.
This incident is truly infuriating.
Chu Junting grasped Song Ruozhen's hand and softened his voice, "I'm sorry you suffered this time. I never expected him to lay a hand on my father-in-law."
"Don't worry, I've already warned him. He won't dare to do that unless he's desperate."
Although he handled the matter cleanly and efficiently, it is precisely because of this style of doing things that the King of Liang should know that he was the one who did it.
Although the King of Liang liked to use underhanded tactics, he disdained it and simply put the conflict out in the open!
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, and the anger that had been building up inside her dissipated.
"We cannot allow him to harm our loved ones with impunity. Instead of defending, we should take the initiative!"
Don't worry, no one will discover the poison I've used. Not only will the people in the Imperial Hospital not be able to tell what kind of poison it is, but even the divine physician by the side of Prince Liang probably won't be able to tell!
Then we'll just have to wait for him to come begging to us!
Song Ruozhen kept a cold face. Since Prince Liang liked taking people's lives so much, let's see if he can still be so calm when Consort Duan is dead!
